Hi,
Me and my girl had a baby in April and we said, that we would want some time to just settle in and be together as a three of us as a family, but my parents and relatives have always pushed "When we see a baby and so on" That felt a little bit too much, at the time when we wanted to have a time on our own. Now it has been almost 3 months, and my relatives don't understand why they have not seen the baby. I understand that everyone is overwhelmed and happy, but I and my girl just don't want that stress they are making. Especially on me.
My girl and I are coming from different relatives' habits, I have always been close to my family, etc, on the other hand, my girl has everyone doing their own business (minding their own life) yes they get together, not avoiding each other.
Now my relatives are offended, because they have, not seen the baby.

Congratulations! Great news on the baby!
That said, on this one I agree with the family. Should you get space? Absolutely 100% yes. Three months? Too long.
I've had four kids so I'm speaking from experience.
Here's the thing: you don't have to host them for hours or make a steak dinner or have them spend weeks with you. Just give them a chance to see you and your girl and the baby and give them a coffee and then time to go. Go to their house so you can leave rather than them camping out in your living room.
So, yeah, I think three months is waaaaay too long.
The final thing to remember is that babies grow and change crazy fast. Literally. So family wants to see the baby as a newborn/infant. That's a vastly different baby than at six months or one year.
But let's flip this for a second: assuming you're not against them seeing the baby, what, to you, is enough time?
Congrats 🎉
Honestly tell them that the baby is to young and you need time to bond. You don't want the baby sick... So many reasons why to just keep them away right now!
It is your child and they can push but tell them to respect you both now! Noether of you two are ready.
